What are the principles of effective communication in the work place?
By
Excellent question. Throw out the manifesto of ‘how to win friends and influence people’. That is for high-level businessmen. I suggest taking a course on business communication and reading some etiquette books. You must look the part and always be polite. Remember that a sense of humor and light-heartedness are great, but the office is a professional environment. So it is necessary to avoid crossing the line with people.
Respect the more conservative, elderly, prestigious members of the workplace. Be loyal to the boss and don’t argue with him.
